Optician Co. is an eyewear store in the city of Kozani, Greece. The store is situated in two levels. The ground floor, which is used for the eyewear exhibition and the second floor for the customers’ eye examination.

Symmetry is being used to organize space both vertically in the façade and entrance, as well as horizontally in the plan. The entrance is located in the middle of the façade with showcases along the long parallel walls. The cashier is at the back of the store, along with the hanged steel staircase.

Decorative patterns inspired by natural motifs are used as partitions. The floor was found to be a white coloured terrazzo dating from the 70’s, with brown and copper stones that became the background on which the color palette is based. Finally, the materials on the shopfront and the furniture are marble, metal, and wood, leather and copper painted iron.
